New Port Houston Temp Protocols

New Port Houston Temp Protocols

Effective Wednesday, April 8, 2020, Port Houston will require non-contact temperature screenings of everyone entering Barbours Cut and Bayport Container Terminals restricted areas, to further reduce the spread of COVID-19 among the port community. Port Houston will consider expanding to other areas of Port Houston public facilities after successful implementation at the two container terminals, which were chosen based on their environment and the varied users and visitors who enter those shared spaces.

To carry out these screenings, Port Houston has hired Workplace Safety Screenings (WSS), which currently provides screening services to the ILA through the WGMA.
